Having worked as a Synology reseller, I can guess as to what the problem is: Hard drives are no longer "general purpose" like they were in the old days. Mechanical design and firmware are now optimized for all kinds of use cases: NAS / SAN, NVR, de…

Wow. I spent a lot of time in International logistics and about 12 years in supply chain management for companies that were moving production from Asia to North America (mostly Mexico, but some US), and you did a very good job covering the labor por…

They might put a C-series modem in the laptop, but from a manufacturing perspective it makes no sense to combine it with the CPU. It would add significant cost, which can only be justified by the speed and power consumption of ultra-high-speed inter…

Anybody who believes cybersecurity info from a TikTok influencer video gets what they deserve. This serving of rancid word salad was going around during the election, and actually being taken seriously by plenty of people (linking a third-party tran…

It makes sense for Apple to put their first cellular modem into a low-end device, as one can reasonably expect a lot of teething problems.This isn't a knock on Apple, it's more that it's an insanely hard problem and pretty much nobody gets it right …

Has any third-party done a security audit on these devices? Just about any time someone makes a serious attempt to hack a "smart" lock, the results have been flat-out embarrassing. One can argue that many residential locks are easily picked (true), …

Building a cellular modem is crazy-difficult. While the overall specifications are public, how to make them work in the real-world involves lots of very carefully-kept trade secrets. The successful vendors, especially Qualcomm, use these trade sec…

This is why it's difficult for medium and large businesses to adopt Apple products on a large scale. We have to plan our capital expenditures to maximize return over depreciation periods. Companies like HP and Dell will work with us by giving us acc…

This is insane, and a major loss for buyers. Firstly, GM was just caught "accidentally" turning on their OnStar+ system that captured detailed information about the driving habits of millions of their customers, then selling this data to Lexis+Nexi…

Should a purchaser leave a European Union country, an app downloaded from one of these app stores can only be updated for 30 days -- but it will function beyond that time frame. Users can still use the marketplaces to manage previously installe…

There's also an option to enable a feature called "enhanced call privacy." Unless you've checked enhanced call privacy, X will disclose your IP address to the person on the other end of your call. Your IP address can be used to get a rough appr…

It should have been mentioned in the story that this case was originally handled in the Eastern Texas division of the US Federal Courts (in Marshall, Texas). This court has gone out of its way to roll out the red carpet for patent trolls with easy w…

I lived in San Diego for years and have had quite a few friends on Qualcomm's engineering teams, and this is what I've heard: Many of the nuts-and-bolts details of making cellular modems (especially everything from CDMA / 3G onward) are kept as trad…

Seriously, while the decrease in WiFi protocol and the amount of speakers and microphones might seem like odd decisions, the end product might actually be better and sound better too… I’ll be waiting for comparison reviews and might replace my two o…
